One UX concern: the app appears to push multiple entries into the browser history without meaningful route changes. This makes the back button require stepping through redundant states before returning to the previous site.
That behavior breaks expected browser navigation and can feel like back-button hijacking, which is generally considered a UX anti-pattern. It would be better to push history state only at meaningful navigation boundaries.
Sharing this in the spirit of constructive feedback.
> Ironic given Tim Sweeney's supposed anti-monopoly stance.
This doesn't really make sense. If you are implying he is FOR monopoly, he would want the game on every possible platform right? He loses money by not having more players playing his game.
I did a DEXA scan at the end only so I don’t know the before accurately. I have some measurements from my Scale on muscle mass which shows a drop of about 2 kgs. Overall I lost about 30-35 lbs of weight. The measurements from the scale should be taken with a grain of salt though because they are based on impedance and formulas that are related to BMI
The Fasting Mimicking concept is there because this method was exclusively tested on Cancer patients who are also going through Chemo therapy. Having nutrients for these patients is important [1]
Is pure Water Fasting superior? Yes. I have done 1 week water fasts, back to back for 4 weeks and lost ~30 lbs.
However, I think fasting mimicking may help adherence for some people.
A lot of extensive research was done by Dr. Valter Longo and his department on similar topics and has made its way into an easily digestible book called The Longevity Diet. It changed my perspective big time with food.
Highly recommend reading this book for folks that are interested in Longevity.
Dr. Longo has also done a few podcasts with Dr. Rhonda Patrick (who might be more known to the audience here) you can checkout
Because you are an active consumer of YouTube to the point where you think it’s worth it to pay the monthly fee; as do I.
However, I seldom read any news articles maybe 1-2 here and there only. In that case I wouldn’t want to pay for a susscriotion. I likely also don’t wanna pay like five bucks to read an article.
This is one of those things where interests of the consumer are at odds with that of the business. Businesses need money, customers have money. Customers do not always want to pay the businesses directly. This issue is more obvious when it comes to news media. We don't have a good solution to pay $0.01 - $0.10 or whatever small denomination. The other question is would we even want to?
I don’t think Freemium or whatever subscription model solves these problems beyond the scope of a single website. I am interested to hear how this can be solved for consumers for whole swaths of websites that have ads.
It’s pretty easy to say ads are evi, but I personally don’t know a good solution.
Yes but the notation of dot, plus such function names plus optional parens makes it sure read like English. That’s great but it’ll be a nightmare when you are also dealing with strings which similar English in it.
Yeah this language probably has a lot of Stackoverflow questions. This is basically like tasking someone’s personal dot file and trying to reason about it
Maybe because I haven’t used languages like these in the past, but I hardly think this is elegant, much read readale. I would hate my life trying to parse code like this in a 10k LOC codebase.
Hey folks -- I was recently on a Subreddit of my hometown (/r/toronto) and saw the stark difference between the Metro System of our city compared to other places in the world; some of which had projects started much later than in Toronto. I was curious and wanted to see other places around the world. Thought it might be interesting for folks here.
> The title of this post claims that pytz is the fastest footgun in the west, by which I mean that pytz is a quite well-optimized library, and historically it has been faster than dateutil.tz
Wat. The author has no idea what a foot gun is.
Pytz is a must because using the standard library and timezone manipulations often leads to bugs. There are nuances around “naive” date times where one can easily just add a fake timezone value, not realizing that the time didn’t actually get localized to the timezone.
There are other libraries such as Arrow and Pendulum worth checking out but pytz is probably enough.
